East Greenland as an analogue and source to the Jurassic and cretaceous petroleum systems of mid-Norway

Well-exposed Jurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary units in East Greenland are analogous to the offshore succession in Mid-Norway. We present revised thickness-based logs through the succession from the key regions where it is exposed in East Greenland. The logs are accompanied by a wealth of data (petrography, heavy mineral analysis, heavy mineral chemistry, detrital zircon U-Pb ages, poroperm, and TOC/Rock Eval Pyrolysis data) that sheds light on the source and reservoir properties of the various units. The composite logs reveal the net:gross of the Jurassic and Cretaceous succession and therefore also clarify the distribution of source and reservoir units. This work has highlighted variations in the thickness of the Jurassic and Cretaceous sedimentary units, which has implications for the rift history between Greenland and Norway at this time.
